The maintainer of suse's perl port, I take it, just made it back from a break, and responded to my bug filed against 12.1 not being able to build perl 5.14.2 (as distributed by rpm in binary and source rpms from opensuse.org).
At first it got closed out as invalid, because they didn't try it.
Then they tried it. Comments in the bug which was reopened and resolved as 'fixed', now...
I just forgot to change it back to "invalid". I never tried to build perl.
------ Note that I needed to backport one of the upstream fixes to make perl-5.14.2 build, check out perl-cbuilder-ccflags.diff. It's already included in perl-5.16.0, though.
We also patch hints/linux.pl a bit (it seems to be tailored for Debian).
But if you do everything our specfile does, you shouldn't have any problems to rebuild perl. If you want to compiler 5.16.0 for 12.1, you should check out the patches and specfile from opensuse 12.2. ---
This is about what I had to do when I ported 5.14.2 to 12.1 a couple of months ago. All this is included in the source rpm.
